I just logged in to say the same thing. WHY we let Nesta go, why did we not push more him to stay. It would have been much easier for anyone who would replace Thiago.
And, if we are in need of money, and lets assume that we are going to balance the books.Is it not better to sell Ibra??? He is replaceable within our squad, (plus his huge wage is a problem). No extra transfer required, lower wages, younger squad, better group atmosphere. There is a logic.
But what we gain with Tiago departure??!! He is a irreplaceable character within our group. Both from footballing and other aspects. The best what we could get in the defender market will not go under 25 mil (if other teams know you cashed in 50 mil for your defender). So this makes this sale even more disturbing. It does not make any sens.

One more thing, Both Berlu and Galliani are born "spin doctors". Don`t be surprised if tomorrow both come out and say Tiago is staying, we resisted 50 mil offer. the mercato is closed and everybody is happy.
